Shorenstein Named Honoree for CREATEs Annual Benefit Gala; Come and

Support the Industry Leaders Who Are Developing a Pipeline of Talent

The Commercial Real Estate Alliance for Tomorrows Employees (CREATE) has named
Shorenstein Company as this years honoree for CREATEs May 18, 2017 gala in San Francisco.

San Francisco, CA, April 19, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Commercial Real Estate Alliance for Tomorrow's
Employees (CREATE) has named Shorenstein Company as this year's honoree for CREATE's May 18,
2017 gala. CREATE underwrites an education and training program, the centerpiece of which is a
partnership between San Francisco State University and commercial real estate companies. The program
is developing a pipeline of new talent for commercial property employers. The workforce development
initiative provides paid summer internships, mentoring with executives at commercial real estate
companies, a Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Certificate Program at SFSU, and placement in well-paying
careers in the CRE industry.

For seven decades, Shorenstein Company has been a civic, cultural, and philanthropic leader in our
community. As a builder, owner, and manager of some of San Francisco's most iconic structures, they
know the value of well-trained operational personnel, as their support of CREATE's workforce training
program demonstrates, says Marc Intermaggio, Executive Director & CEO of BOMA San Francisco
Foundation and EVP of BOMA San Francisco. We're pleased to honor Shorenstein at CREATE's 2017
Gala.

CREATE's mission is to address a talent drought in the industry. CREATE is working to make careers in
CRE a career of choice - not chance. Since inception of the CRE Certificate Program with SFSU, 52
students have earned their CRE Certificate and 34 students have successfully completed internship
programs with a majority finding full-time employment in industry positions.

Shorenstein, among many of its peers in the industry, has been a beneficiary of the CREATE program.
We have enjoyed mentoring students and currently have two full-time employed program graduates. We
encourage you to join us at this year's gala and help support this very important program. You will have
the opportunity to meet some of the graduates at the event and see for yourself the quality of the talent
pool and how they've benefited from this program, says Glenn Shannon, vice chairman at Shorenstein
Properties. We also extend a warm thank you to program supporters, NAIOP, BOMA, and IREM, as
well as this year's signature and legacy sponsors, Hathaway Dinwiddie and Kilroy Realty Corporation.
